Forecast Snow Stability: The snowpack will slowly consolidate as milder conditions take effect but pockets of windslab will persist. Greatest instabilities will be mainly on North-West through North to East aspects above 900 meters. Cornices above similar aspects will become unstable and prone to collapse. The avalanche hazard will be Moderate.

Forecast Weather Influences: Overnight frost possible but the freezing level will generally be well above the summits. A mainly dry day with some light rain at the end of the period. Winds will generally be strong South-Easterly. Observed Weather Influences: A dry day with the freezing level around 1000 metres. Winds were strong South-Westerly. ObservedSnowStability: Unstable windslab exists the greatest accumulations are in wind sheltered areas mainly above 900 metres particularly in sheltered gullies and on steep slopes with a NW, N, NE, E and SE aspect. Fragile cornices exist above similar aspects. Cross loading may affect other wind sheltered locations. Wind exposed slopes are firm and often icy with better stability. The avalanche hazard is Considerable.
